Common Questions and Answers about Seizure video epilepsy

seizure

Avatar n tn t look at any of them for more than a few minutes before having a seizure. It is very plausible that he could have seizures from playing video games for that amount of time if he is photo sensitive.
327385 tn?1378360731 i just got my first 24hr video eeg and i was told by the nurse that my results did show seizure activity on the left side . i didnt have a seizure while in the hospital. i just want to know if anyone has any idea of what the seizure activity on left side means. i dont go to my neuro for a couple mnts. i have had just eegs and it was just fast ones.
Avatar m tn If youve had more than 1 seizures I believe its then called epilepsy. Go see a neurologist. Same thing happened to me but my EEG was positive. I guess that when you have an EEG, if the spike is less than 3 seconds long its in the "normal" range. I had a friend who had the same problem with the EEG being normal. Finally she went and her EEG was just at the cutoff. She started taking meds and shes much better. Maybe your daughter should try a 24 hr EEG.
Avatar f tn at the time he was playing a video game. we found out this day that he had a smaller type seizure at a friends house about a month ago that he did not tell us about. during both times he was playing video games. he also complains of periodic headaches, but they are not bad. EMS was called and he was taken to the ER. at first they did a cat scan with contrast that was normal. the next morning they did an MRI with contrast. they found a 1.1cm right temporal lobe 'lesion'.
1889593 tn?1321036785 It could possibly be some form of seizure, or even mild epilepsy. You need to have him checked out I think. Can you video the event if it happens again? Obviously you might not get much warning but if you can, it would help the vet perhaps to see more clearly what's going on with him.
Avatar m tn From my own reading, I read about photosensitive epilepsy and since the attacks started, I stayed away from flashing lights, clubs, video games and I hardly watch TV, but my curiousity got the better of me. I read some where that in photosensitive epilepsy, that the seizure may not always occur at the time of stimulation, it can occur hours or days afterward.
Avatar n tn There is a condition called migralepsy.A video EEG may be able to help differentiate a seizure aura from a migraine aura.I am not sure how sensitive and how specific this test is but it may shed some light on your daughter's condition.
Avatar f tn Hi, My boyfriend had his first tonic clonic seizure at 29 years old. It happened at 4:30am. He had no recollection of it, he went to the ER, they gave him a series of blood tests and a cat scan and everything came up normal. He was referred to a neurologist who suggested an MRI and EEG. Unfortunately, he has no med insurance and couldn't get the tests without paying up front. 1 month later he had another one.
Avatar n tn They have became as frequent as 3-7 times a day. He has seen many doctors and all of them have ruled out epilepsy because he remembers what happens. The medicine doctors have put him on doesn't seem to be working. Just today he had a seizure that lasted for 3 mintues and he has been throwing up, barely able to walk. He has now been in Geisinger Medicial Hospital for 3 day and they are still not sure what is going on. What could this be?
Avatar f tn After the birth of my second child I had my one and only grand mal seizure. I was diagnosed with epilepsy and put on anti seizure meds for 4 years. Bumped along for 13 years with no meds and no problems. Then as peri-menopause began, the aura's came back. I went to a neurologist and told him I thought it was hormone related. He told me I was wrong. I was put on anti-seizure meds once again, but the side effects were so bad I knew I wouldn't be able to stay on it long term.
Avatar f tn Video EEG. Video EEG records seizures on videotape and on computer so that the doctor can see what happens just before, during, and right after a seizure. This test can be very helpful in finding the specific area of the brain that the seizures may be coming from. It is also helpful in diagnosing psychogenic seizures, which may look like real seizures but do not affect the electrical activity in the brain.
Avatar m tn He should get that checked out. If he's had seizures, why haven't they done a neurological workup? He could have something causing adolescent onset of epilepsy. Seizures can have a variety of presentations, and if he's seizing in his motor and sensory cortices (they're right next to each other), that might explain the numbness and weakness.
Avatar m tn Good morning or good evening to everyone ! So I am epileptic (not photosensitive), I am under a treatment (I didn't do a seizure for more than a year), and my doctor prohibited video games, but I want to know why and if I can still do animations using Garry's mod (a tool that looks like a game but that I wouldn't really call a game, it looks like this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aM2MA6xOXzk ) thank you !
Avatar m tn All three prescriptions were for the idea of Epilepsy which is misdiagnosed. Every EEG (except the video EEG 2000 stated above) including a video home surveillance EEG in 2005 showed no signs of seizure/miscommunication in brain. Several MRIs all unremarkable and VNG done in 2016 unremarkable results. Last Neurologist/vestibular specialist I saw believed it not be vertigo or epilepsy but actually migraines. After months almost a year of magnesium and riboflavin supplements, no relief.
699912 tn?1235667950 Has anyone had brain surgery for epilepsy? Was it successful? I have had it for 24 years and not controlled by meds. I suffer from partial left lobe seizures that may become generalized. I have trouble with memory as it is bad anyways, I want that to improve not be worse. I have emotional problems which from research can come from problems with the partial lobe. I want my seizures to be controlled as well. I am really scared. They want me to be a candidate for brain surgery.
Avatar n tn I have no control of them and by no means would I fake a seizure as my son has epilepsy!!! I like you do not lose consicousness although I have 1 time.
1545371 tn?1330798707 i was diagnosed with epilepsy aged 8. I had tonic clonic seizures, complex partial and myoclonic seizures. I have been seizure free on medication for several years now. A large proportion of my seizures occured during sleep. I reduced my meds several years ago with the help of my neurologist as i was keen to get pregnant. Lately i have been wakening feeling extremely groggy and tired which lasts throughout the day and my body aches when i waken. I feel some days like i have been hit by a bus.
Avatar m tn I have a 7-year old who about last year in Kindergarten started displaying odd behavior of zoning out. We first noticed this behavior when doing homework and reading. I think it has gotten worse into 1st grade. And i have witnessed this behavior not just during studying/learning/reading times but also while she plays video games and on the soccer field in action. She'll just stop and leave reality for a few seconds followed by a few seconds of disorientation before figuring out where she is.
Avatar f tn I had a grandmal seizure and has been seizure free for 12 years. Currently on 750mg of kepra and 20 mg clobazem. In august I had and episode where the left side of my body went numb, my face drooped and I was unable to speak for 2 hours. I also experienced sharp pain at the back of my left year and my skull. The hospital tests CT, ECG, EKG and bllod work showed no stroke.
Avatar n tn If you cannot show her the video of herself, then I would ask her who her doctor is, and SEND HIM A COPY OF THE VIDEO and ask him/her to please help you! Or show it to your own doctor and ask what he/she thinks is the next course of action. Good luck, and please keep us informed. Thanks.
Avatar f tn My disorder is called Simple-Partial seizures with Aura. The symptoms are much like those of a severe panic attack only panic attacks don't have the Aura. The aura is where you start feeling REALLY weird like your going to go crazy, feel like your going to die right before you seizure, limbs with pins and needles, numbness, especially in my lips/face, headache, my muscles will burn, freezing, profuse sweating, and this could last all day before I have a seizure in the evening.
Avatar n tn This has been ongoing for about six months. Finally he had a seizure on April and admitted at hospital. After further tests, the neurologist said he had abdominal epilepsy. He had been taking keppra, depokate and resipdral but still he is having abdominal pain at least once a day. Any thoughts? I am not sure if the epilepsy cause the minor stroke or the other way around.
